Item num: 91032Item weight: 33.00 oz.Size: 8"x3"x1-1/4"Description: The Ohishi #6000/10,000 Grit Combination Waterstone has a large surface, making sharpening longer knives easier. The clay matrix is fast cutting and provides a clear surface with no deep scratches. This stone is among our favorite finishing stones that we have encountered.
The #6000 grit side is used to create a high performance, razor edge with just a little bite. Many knife users like a #6000 grit finish on hunting knives and daily carry folders.
The #10,000 grit side is used to further refine the cutting edge of all sorts of knives and tools. A #10,000 grit finish is perfect for polishing the interior surface of Japanese hair shears. We've also found the combination of #6000/#10,000 perfect for sharpening straight razors.
We recommend using a stone holder to keep the stone from slipping while sharpening and to raise the stone above the table's surface. A Nagura Stone should be used in combination with both the #6000 grit and the #10000 grit sides of this stone.Availability: In stock. Usually ships in 1-2 business days
